Wine Advocate – 100 Points
This is a quintessential Sassicaia that captures the excellence of the vintage while honoring the unique character of this distinguished Tuscan blend. The 2021 Bolgheri Sassicaia offers impeccable balance, vibrant freshness, and no signs of overripeness. The fruit profile is ideal, with a touch of crunch and lasting tension from the pulp and skins.
Tannins are expertly managed, providing both structure and silky smoothness. The bouquet reveals layers of red and purple berries—redcurrant, blueberry, pomegranate, and Rainier cherry—alongside hints of cinnamon, clove, and heritage rose. Subtle oak notes emerge, with gingerbread, hazelnut, cigar, and sandalwood, complemented by a delicate touch of grilled sweet red pepper.
*On the palate, it offers elegant weight, refreshing acidity, and a natural energy that enhances its brightness and depth. This remarkable freshness ensures long aging potential, though a bit more time in the bottle will unlock its full splendour.
